【题目】 We have most friends at the age of 26 after having spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle, new research has claimed.

The research into friendship shows that our social circle peaks at 26 years and 7 months, at which we typically have five close friends.Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months, with men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months.

The research, by Forever Friends, shows that about a third of adults meet their closest friends while at school，with about a fifth saying they meet them at work.

Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship.The research points out that 25 to 34yearolds make 22 friends via Facebook, compared to 18 to 24yearolds who make 12, and 35 to 44yearolds who make just four.

Forever Friends' relationship coach Sam Owen says, “It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes，giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference.”

Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving, while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% to drift away from childhood friends.

With growing pressure being put on friendship these days，it's important to make time for our friendship.

【1】How many friends can a 20yearold college student make via Facebook?

A.4.B.12.

C.18.D.22.

【2】In Paragraph 5，the author is trying to tell the readers________.

A.how important making friends is

B.that friendship is not easy to keep

C.how much has been done to keep friendship

D.School time is an important period to develop friendship.

【3】The underlined phrase “drift away from” in Paragraph 6 means “________”.

A.make sense ofB.lose touch with

C.feel sorry forD.make up with

【4】This passage is most probably taken from________.

A.Facebook or TwitterB.an advertisement

C.a textbookD.a newspaper

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】B

【4】D

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。研究发现，我们在26岁的时候会拥有最多的朋友，接下来分段描述发现的过程及结果，最后呼吁大家珍视友谊。

【1】细节理解题。根据第四段中The research points out that 25 to 34-year-olds make 22 friends via Facebook, compared to 18 to 24-year-olds who make 12, and 35 to 44-year-olds who make just four.研究指出，25岁到34岁的人通过Facebook结交了22个朋友，而18岁到24岁的人有12个朋友，35岁到44岁的人只有4个朋友。可知，一个20岁的大学生通过Facebook可以结识12个朋友。故选B项。

【2】细节理解题。根据第五段中It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes，giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. 超过三分之一的人会在学校遇到最好的朋友，这并非巧合。这是我们生活中的一个关键时刻，通过分享笔记、赠送礼物、定期见面和开怀大笑，友谊会不断加深。可知，上学时间是发展友谊的重要时期。故选D项。

【3】词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中Later in life we find ourselves losing friends.后来，我们发现自己失去了朋友。可知，本段主要介绍失去朋友的原因。可推断出本句的意思是：有孩子还会导致19%的人疏远儿时的朋友。因此划线词意为“与……失去联系”，故选B项。

【4】推理判断题。根据第一段中We have most friends at the age of 26 after having spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle, new research has claimed. 一项新研究称，在经历了人生第一个四分之一建立我们的朋友圈之后，我们在26岁时拥有了最多的朋友。可知，本文是一项研究发现，该研究称我们在26岁的时候会有最多的朋友。所以可能出自报纸。故选D项。

The dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers(触发器) in the home that make them perform tasks. The duties will include reminding their owners to take medicine, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep regularly.

The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer's Scotland and Dogs for the Disabled. The first dogs will be distributed to four Scottish couples, where one of the partners is in the early stages of dementia. 670,000 people in Britain have dementia and one in three over 65 will develop the condition. By 2021 this is expected rise to one million.

John Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said, "People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine. " Another advantage of using the pets as companions is that dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. Ms Gray said: "The evidence is that people may forget familiar faces but not pets. It's such a strong bond that people often remember them longest. People don't need to communicate verbally(口头上) but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond."

Helen McCain, director of Dogs for the Disabled, said, "People with dementia often forget to take medicine. If a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it, there is a greater chance of them taking it. The dogs would also encourage the owners to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people."

【题目】 Laura Sides was a psychology major at the University of Nottingham in 2004. She first noticed signs of her dad’s developing dementia(痴呆) when she moved to Nottingham. She said, "Dad was a doctor, so he knew exactly what had happened to him, but people try to hide it when they are ill. Then, I came home for my 21st birthday and arranged to meet him, but he never showed up as he’d forgotten. That’s when I knew something serious had happened."

So, aged 21, she decided to leave university and look after him herself. She lived close by, popping in every day to make sure he was eating, and that the house was tidy, before heading off to her work.

Besides challenging moments, there was a time when looking after her dad was a pure joy. "We’d wake up, I’d ask what he wanted to do that day, and however ridiculous the adventure is, off we’d go."

Sadly, in 2009, 5 years later, Laura lost her father. Before he died, Laura went to a hospital appointment with him, where doctors mentioned that his form of Alzheimer’s disease was genetic meaning there was a fifty-fifty chance that she had inherited it. For several years Laura agonised over whether to be tested, finally finding out in August 2017 that she has the APP gene, meaning that, like him, she will develop the condition within a decade.

At first, she struggled, feeling as if her life lacked purpose. Then, during a sleepless night in the summer of 2018, she decided at around 2 a.m. to enter the 2019 London Marathon sponsored by the charities Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s Research UK.

She hoped to start the conversation around early-onset Alzheimer’s disease and to encourage people to talk about it more openly. "I remember when Dad was ill, people wouldn’t know how to react, but I want to be honest and open," she added. "The more information we can get, the less of a taboo(忌讳) we will feel. That said, the support I’ve received so far after going public has been amazing — that’s what is carrying me through."

【1】Laura noticed her father’s dementia when .

A.her father told her his condition in person

B.people nearby informed her of his father’s condition

C.her father forgot his own birthday party

D.her father forgot to attend her 21-year-old birthday party

【2】The underlined word "agonised" in Paragraph 4 probably means .

A.excitedB.struggled

C.shockedD.delighted

【3】Laura started the open talk in the hope of .

A.getting people to talk about Alzheimer’s disease openly

B.earning some money to help treat her Alzheimer’s disease

C.making herself stronger to fight against Alzheimer’s disease

D.raising funds for charities Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s disease Research UK
